Ep. 188 - Turning Consumer Choice into Global Impact with Fairtrade International’s Dr. Arisbe Mendoza

What if your morning coffee could strengthen entire communities?

Dr. Arisbe Mendoza, Director of Global Impact at Fairtrade International, shares how everyday purchases — your morning coffee, chocolate bar, or bottle of wine — can create ripple effects across communities worldwide.

From living-income pricing and climate-resilient farming to gender equity and co-ownership by 1.9 million farmers and workers, Arisbe reveals how Fairtrade is redefining what ethical trade can achieve — and why October’s Fair Trade Month is the perfect time to reflect on the impact of our everyday choices.

Whether you’re leading a social impact organization, working toward sustainability goals, or just rethinking your weekly grocery list, this conversation shows how small, intentional actions can add up to systemic change.
